Brussels farms have top Yorkshires THE BRUSSELS POST, NOVEMBER 14, 1979 13
Jan Van Vliet, R.R. 2,
Brussels, and Bodmin Limit-
ed, R.R. 5, Brussels, had the
three top indexing Yorkshire
boars among the large group
of 110 boars which recently
completed test at the Ontario
R.O.P. Swine Test Station,
R.R. 2, New Hamburg,
The top Yorkshire boar
with a station index of 134
was from the Van Vliet herd
and combined low backfat
thickness of 12.5 mm (.47
inches), fast average daily
gain on test of 1,97 Kg, (2,13
pounds) and excellent feed
conversion of 2.23. This boar
was closely followed by two
other Yorkshires from the
Bodmin herd with indexes of
133 and 131.
The two highest indexing
boars in the entire group
were Durocs from the herds,
of Roger Fair, Ancaster and
McDermid Farms, Stayner,
with station indexes of 153
and 142,
Also among the top index-
ing eight boars in the Nov-
ember group were Durocs
from McDermind Farms and
Don Johnson, Mildmay and a
Yorkshire from Hay Bay
Farm, Napanee.
The station index evalu-
ates the overall performance
of each boar with completes
test as compared to the
average performance of the
group which is always 100
index.
The performance traiti
measured include average
backfat thickness, average
daily gain and feed conver-
sion.
Boars which index 100 or
higher and are approved for
physical and structural
soundness are sold at the
monthly sales at the New
Hamburg Test Station.
